Imagine a world in which there were no people (except you, obviously). Imagine that, instead of people, there was a huge blue thing with objects sliding down it that you had to collect as they fell off the end, and then you had to drop them into piles according to their colours.

Now stop imagining stupid things and go and buy Kiax. In this game you have to do exactly what I described so brilliantly above. It's very much like Tetris, but with coloured rectangles instead. You must get three or more in a row to make them disappear, and there are points bonuses for the different ways in which this can be done.

It's hectic, it's fast and you'll get hooked. I did. In fact, I was so busy playing, I missed a prime money-making opportunity when I heard dad's coins spilling out of his pockets as he tripped on a roller skate I had carefully positioned on the stairs.

Where was I? Oh yes, put simply, Klax is a brill puzzle game.

It's a klassic, is Klax. Better than finding that packet of bourbon biscuits your parents hid before they went out. The joystick is a bit sensitive, but if you let that put you off, you're no friend of mine.
